Fig. 8From: A decellularized flowable placental connective tissue matrix supports cellular functions of human tenocytes in vitroExpression of inflammatory markers in tenocytes cultured on connective tissue matrices over time. The relative expression of cytokines in tenocytes cultured on A-CTM, I-CTM, and TCP for 2 days and 7 days is shown. The relative expression (fold) of CXCL8 (A), TGFβ1 (B), TGFβ3 (C), and MMP1 (D) was compared to the mRNA level in tenocytes on Day 0 (starting cells). Data shown are mean ± SD (n = 4 for cells on CTMs, n = 3 for cells on TCP). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.005Back to article page
